The use of small group teaching and the provision of lecture material as the principle teaching method is an effective means to provide students with the acquisition of the sizeable and detailed knowledge base and facilitate the understanding of the module material. Tutorials allow in person interaction, reinforcing knowledge and providing feedback.
Alternatives will be offered to students unable to be present-in-person due to the prevailing C-19 circumstances.
Students should consult their timetable for up-to-date delivery information.
Should the public health situation require it, the present-in-person teaching activities?will be replaced by a mix of synchronous and asynchronous online sessions.
The format of resits will be determined by the Board of Examiners
| Description | Length | Semester | When Set | Percentage | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Written Examination | 90 | 1 | M | 100 | 1.5-hours exam at the end of the block-teaching week in S1 |
| Description | Semester | When Set | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Written exercise | 1 | M | One taken home assignment |
The examination allows students an opportunity to demonstrate knowledge, understanding and the possession of subject specific insights.
Should the public health situation require it, the planned examination scheduled to be completed present-in-person will be replaced by an open book, online examination to be completed within a defined 24 hour period.
